If you can identify with the feelings
of loneliness, sadness, joy, excitement,
peace or love you can identify with
this year's Moods program, "Photo Al­bum.
" Moods is not a talent show or
a variety show, but rather is the expres­sion
of various moods through acts of
music, drama, audio-visual, and comedy.
Each of these portrays its mood in
a unique and definitive way. We hope
that you can be there when the pro­gram
begins at 8 p.m. tonight. Tickets
are available :it the Campus Coordina­tor's
office or at the door.
This year's highlights are entitled,
"Reflections," "Warmth," "Impress­ions,"
"Classics," "Smiles," "Pro­files,"
"Anticipation," "Relics," "Epi­taph,"
"Dreams," and "Harmony."

Starvation: what we can do about it
One-fifth of the people in this world are starving to
death. Faces of emaciated children suffering from malnu­trition
glare at us ' from our television sets and the pages
of our newspapers and magazines. We feel sickened at the'
sight of this, but feel our interest drawn back to the problem
again and again. What can we do about it?
The irony is this: we hear every day about people whose
life expectancy is shortened due to lack of food, while here
in the United States, seven million people can expect a shorter
life because they eat too much (U.S. News and World Re·
port, July 22, 1974).
Everyone has heard the figures. With six percent of the
world's population we use 30 percent of its limited resources.
True, we probably feed 25 percent of the world's people,
(National Review, November 11, 1974); and we gave away
$3 million in free food last year. (That was 84 percent of
all food given away by developed nations.) BUT in 1963
we gave away over $18 million worth of food (U.'S. News,
December 16, 1974). Each year as inflation has risen and
our population increased, the United States has given away
less and less.
Now the food experts have come back to the theory of
19th Century thinker Malthus - the earth can only support
a limited amount of people and that limit may have already
been reached. Though birth rates are steadily decreasing,
effective world-wide birth control is not yet a reality. Even
if it were, this would not solve the problem of widespread,
famine, such as exists in Africa today and occurs frequently
all over the world. Somewhere, somehow, we need to establish
a food surplus from which the entire world may draw in
emergencies.
According to experts, such as British economist Barbara
Ward ('U.S. News, December 16, 1974) the largest problem
lies in consumption patterns, particularly in high consumption
nations such as the United States.
For example, American diets are heavily laden with beef
and other meats. But to produce one pound of American
beef protein it takes 21 pounds of grain protein (PRE·
VENTION, February, 1975). For 'everyone American fed

Volume 50, No. 18
on beef, seven other people could be fed on grain (SCIENCE,
May 3, 1974).
In the United States and Canada the per capita grain
consumption is one ton per year. Two-hundred pounds of this
goes toward the production of bread and pastries but the large
portion of it supplies the raw materials for livestock pro­ducts
such as meat, milk and eggs (Saturday Review World,
December 1, 1964).
Nutritionists report that the body can use efficiently no
more than three ounces of meat protein in 24 hours. Yet
the average American eats three times that amount on an
annual basis (and probably actually excretes the rest).
Scientists have even linked excessive meat eating to heart
disease and cancer.
To support a meat diet such as Americans eat, valuable
farmland is also wasted. The acreage needed to feed one
American is five times that needed to feed an Indian,
Nigerian or Columbian.
To alleviate the world food shortage and distribute food
resources more equitably, it seems to us that action must
be taken in four areas:
First, effective birth control must be obtained for the
Whole world and all nations must work to achieve zero
population growth.
Second, land which is as yet unused could be tilled in
such countries as Brazil and we can work toward stopping
war in such countries as Cambodia so their peoples can
return to self-sufficient agriculture.
Third, Americans and people in other developed nations
can contribute individually to organizations like Care and
World Vision which distribute food efficiently.
But last and probably most important, we Americans
can change our eating habits. In the long run, Americans
who eat more vegetables, fruits and grains such as rice
may be saving not only the world, but themselves as
well.
It just makes sense.

Shelley announces IIbowl of ricell plan
"Most of the world gets by on a
daily bowl of rice for food, and we
think offering this 'alternative menu'
to Bethel students once a week may
bring that fact closer to home," said
Marshall Shelley, Student Association
president.
The "alternative menu" of which he
speaks is an unadorned bowl of rice
which will be offered through the Bethel
Food Service every Thursday night, be­ginning
March 13. Students who choose
this menu, at $1 per bowl, will be con­tributin.
g directly (through the Student
Association) to the World Relief Com­mission,
and indirectly toward feeding
the hungry in other lands. . "'
Shelley explained he is hopeful that
peer pressure may encourage many stu­dents
to participate in the program. "If
a student with a full meal sits down
at a table where all his friends are
eating rice, he may think twice the
next Thursday when he comes through
the food line," he remarked.
The "alternative menu" was the brain­child
of Bethel senior Larry Herzberger
(instigator of the recent F~under's Week
flyer). His original proposal was submit­ted
to several Bethel administrators and
faculty members before it was given
into the hands of the Student S~nate
for action. Among the endorsers were
Dean Dwight Jessup, Dr. Phil Carl­son,
Food Service Co-Manager Wayne
Erikson and Dave Perry.
HerzbergE7r hopes the program will ac­complish
two major purposes.
"First, it enables the individual student
and Bethel collectively to contribute to
the poor and hungry," reads the pro­posal.
"Second, it enables each contri­buter
to identify with those needy by
eating what most of the world eats every
day. Together, this gives the person a
sense of accomplishment: He can do
something to alleviate suffering. Finally,
he can have an effect on his fellow
students. The friend sitting next to him
can s~e that for the sake of others
a sacrifice has been made."
According to Association . President
Shelley, response so far to the idea
has been -good. "I was very pleased
by the cooperation we received from
the Business Office in working this out.
Now we'll be interested to see how the
students respond when given the chance
to contribute to the world's needy on
a regular basis," he said.
"The friend sitting
next to him can
see that for the
sake of others
a sacrifice has
been made."
The World Relief Commission is the
project of . the National Association of
Evangelicals. In the past the Commis­sion
has organized relief efforts for the
Honduras and parts of Africa. The Pub­lic
Activities Committee of the Student
Association has contributed to the Com­mission
through several of its projects,
particularly P;l'oject Fifi.

participants. The entire philosophy of required P.E. (which,
by the way, is an idea we do not support) is that it will
further participation in physical activity. It is difficult for a
student to participate in sports that he (she) was exposed
to in P.E. without a quality 1M program.
Athletic prior1ities are misplaced
Dear Editor:
The Intramural Program is frequently criticized for its
lack of dependable management and its erratic scheduling
of activities. Usually, the 1M directors, Paul Reasoner and
Dan Swanson, are the brunt ' of this criticism. We feel that
these complaints, however ' justified, should not be aimed at
Reasoner and Swanson. The onus of the blame lies With the
. Bethel Athletic Department and its seemingly misplaced
priorities.
As a school striving for recognition in the outside com­munity,
it is considered imperative by the institution to
develop an array of athletic teams competitive with teams
of similar institutions. We agree with this idea, but not
at the expense of the general student population. Far more
students participate at the intramural level than within the
varsity sports struture, yet it seems that any school spon­sored
practice or game takes precedence over scheduled In­tramural
activities. It is assumed, in many cases, that the
1M schedule can be modified to adjust to any change in
the Athletic Department schedule. '
The question here seems to be whether our tuition
money is for the purpose of our being spectators or our being
So as not to be mere critics, we have three sug­gestions
:
. 1. The 1M program should be given high priority in the
scheduling and usage of the gym.
2. Nights should be established which are devoted ex­clusively
to the 1M program and its student participation.
3. The 1M Department should receive a greater portion
of the Athletic Department financial pie.
A possibility to be considered in this new emphasis on
Intramurals would be the channeling of our tuition dollars
away from the required P.E. program to an expanded In­tramural
program.
We do feel that organized sports at the intercollegiate
level definitely has a place here at Bethel. But there must
be a balance between organized intercollegiate sports and an
intramural program serving the interests of the genera}
student population.

Mark Troxel

Let1s remember the, swell p'eople
Dear Editor:
I might have put it off longer,. but this month's Standard
has forced me to climb upon my soapbox and blow my own
bubbles. Too long, I have been willing to curl up in the cor- '
ner and watch the superior race take the stand,. I am speak­ing
about the wonderful people. The wonderful individuals are
manifested in many ways. The Standard's layout of Bethel
students is a major case of chauvinistic wonderfulism. Of
course, there are . also wonderful jocks and wonderful stu­dent
leaders and wonderful people on the Dean's List. In
and of themselves, there is nothing wrong with wonderful
people, but to be perfectly honest, I am sick and tired
of hearing about wonderfulness. Most of us are not won­derful.
We are merely swell people. But without swell people,
wonderful would not be wonderful. Without us the leaders
would have no one to lead, the Dean's kids would only be
as smart as the next person and the athletes would have
no one to keep score. Wonderful cannot exist without swell
anymore than Edgren Dorm council could exist without their
Cub Scout Handbook. Most of the world is swell! So how
about honoring those who just get their homework in, or
smile a lot or press their socks? Swell people don't want
recognition, they would just like to be remembered. So
tonight, when you wonderful people go to bed, just sit for
a moment and smile and say thank you swell people -
you've made me what I am today.
Sincerely,
Bryan Anderson
(One pf the Swell Crowd)
Editor's note: At the risk of forcing IBryan to be wonderful
himself, we coerced him into signing his name. Our policy
dictates _ that we simply can't publish anonymous letters,
and after we laid eyes on this we just had to print it.
Thanks, Bryan. You're really swell.
Request made for coverage
Dear Editor:
Last year the Clarion surveyed students to ask what they
expected of the Clarion. One of the answers was a request
to know about outside events, to let students know what
is going on. The Clarion of last year seemed to consider
such advice helpful, and I personally thought the paper was
very interesting. This year the Clarion has not seemed to '
pay as much attention to the general need for Bethel

students to have some orientation outside of Bethel as well
as inside. Perhaps you would consider this, and make the
Clarion a bit more valuable to its readers.
Sincerely,
Kaye Thompson
Editor's note: Your point is well taken, Kaye. Last semester
we endeavored to include in each issue an expanded "Clarion
Briefs" column to let students know what was going on
off campus. The individual who did the column for us has
since left our staff, but the "Briefs" will be going strong
again next week. In future issues we hope to have more
features such as that on the Minneapolis Housing Author­ity
(January 17) to inform students better as to what is
REALLY happening on the outside. If you or anyone else
has a tip for us as to wbat's happening around, please\
let us know. We always consider advice helpful.
Pastor search is!
on til March 15
The Campus Pastor Search Committee is pulling it all
together beginning next week, as it starts to review appli­cations
for that post.
"We've received lots of good referrals," said Mack Net­tleton,
director of Student Affairs and Committee member.
"Beginning March 15 we'll be looking at individual refer:"
rals and schedule interviews with these people. I'm really
impressed with the credentials of some of the people who have
applied."
Students or faculty memb,ers who would like to submit
a further name for referral to the Committee are asked to
submit that name before March 15. The prospective campus
pastor should satisfy the following criteria:
I. Style of Ministry
A. Should be an effective preacher and be able to
program and lead the daily chapel services.
B. Should effectively promote other worship experiences,
such, as small group studies, services and prayer
meetings.
C. Should be an effective personal spiritual counselor.
D. Should be able to relate to college students in in­formal
as well as formal settings.
E. Should be able to foster interest in and promote
opportunities for Christian service and evangelistic
activities for students.
F. Should be able to work closely with the Baptist

The' Buckley Amendment
File-opening bill now (yawn) legal--
by Steve Harris
The Buckley Amendment, a law hailed
by some civil rights groups as "a great
step forward in the cause of student
rights," has been nonchalantly ho-hum­med
by the Bethel College student body.
The Amendment, a December revision,
allows students over 18 years old to
inspect their school records. The spon­sors
of the Amendment, Senators James
Buckley and Claiborne Pell, sought to
Clarify these records as " ... educational
records ... (which) contain information
directly related to a student." For stu­dents
under 18 years old, permISSIon
is given to their parents to inspect the
records.
What types of information are con­tained
in school files? In high schools,
that might include grade transcripts, at­tendance
data, test scores, aptitude and
psychological tests, teacher and counsel­ling
observations, and personal back­ground
information. In most colleges,
however, there is less material involved,
which may explain the lack of interest
among Bethel students.
"There is nothing
in there that
would embarrass
somebody if someone
else saw it." .
"There just isn't that much in our
records which is 'controversial,'" says
Claire Kolmodin, who has charge of stu­dent
files in Bethel's Registrar Office.
"There is nothing in there that would
embarrass somebody if someone else saw
it. I would think more 'interesting' ma­terial
could be found in a student's high
school file."
According to the amendment, the fol­lowing
materials are excluded from the
records: personal notes of teachers',
supervisors, and administrators which
are retained in their possession, and
in the case of postsecondary (college)
students, medical and psychiatric re­cords.
Notice is to be given annually
to parents and eligible students about
the types of student education records and then do so. To file a complaint,
which the school has in its possession, students may write to:
as well as the procedure for reviewing
them.
"The one thing we are not allowing
students to see," added Claire, "is ref­erence
letters. It hasn't been decided
whether or not they fall under the A­mendment,
because in some spots it's
really vague and ambiguous."
One of the law's provisions has in­directly
affected Bethel students already. t
Freshmen used to have their grades
sent home to their parents by mail.
Because of the law, which prohibits the
release of any part of a student's file
without his permission, that practice has
been cancelled.
According to the Bethel Registrar Of­fice,
only two people have asked to
examine their files, one of them being
the author of this article for research
purposes. A sampling of the material
included in that file included high school
and college transcripts, test seores, cor­respondence,
and form letters. Little of
it, except for a previously hidden high Claire Kolmodin
school IQ rating, was revealing.
"In the future," states a report by
Bethel Dean Dwight Jessup, "any ap­plication
(by Bethel) for federal funds
from the Office of Education will re­quire
an assurance that Bethel is com­plying
with the Buckley Amendment."
If student response so far is any in­dication,
that assurance should be very
easy to give.
Students who request to see their re­cords
and are refused (or if parts of
their records are being withheld from
them) should inform the administration
that they intend to file a complaint,
Mr. Thomas S. McFee
Assistant Secretary for Management
Planning and Technology
HEW North Building, Room 5660
330 Independence Avenue, S.W.
,Washington, DC 20201
Undoubtedly, loopholes will be found
in the Amendment by administrators.
For example, it may be possible for
schools to use material concerning stu­dents
to make decisions concerning them,
and not incorporate that information into
a student's official file. These cases can
be challenged in the courts and probably
will be. .!lrIl DROVERS

by Craig and Mark Johnson .
As we go through our days ' together in a college-com­munity
probably the best benefit to our growth arid con­tinuing
well-being is meeting people who will be our friends
for the rest of our lives. It also might be within God's
plan for us to meet a person who we feel we should marry
and establish a home. No other place could be better suited
for such 'a discovery. However, we feel the present concern
to comment on this sensitive issue.
Just this week we discussed a present trend of "couple
exclusivism" wi~ a fellow sister. Sh~ expressed her concern
in this way. "I don't think you should be so involved with
your own little world that you become insensitive to your
other friends or people around you. Isn't it with reaching out
and sharing, and giving, that we truly gain? I think some­one
very close and dear to us said that in somewhat the
same manner." She could see the necessity of cultivating
a diversity of relationships exclusive to no one. As soon
as our fellowship is closed to other brothers and sisters and
more time is spent with one particular member in the
fellowship, we see the need of those individuals to continue
to be sensitive to others in their immediate community.
We must admit that we are at different stages of
maturity in our relationships with 'each other. Some are
asking the question, "Who am I?", and thus are not pre·
pared yet to share themselves openly with one individual.
Others are maturing in the realm of brother· sister relation·
ships and thus moving toward the preparation of themselves
for a marriage relationship, but one cannot move toward
a. mature marriage relationship until both partners know who
they are individuallY,and both understand what brother· sister
relationships are all about - first! There is no room for
the "Marriage Hame" in a Christian community. "·
Maybe you can think of individuals who you know that
cannot go or do anything without that "special" guy .or
girl. We believe that God has placed people around us who
He would ' like to influence through our individual witness.
We need e~ch other to keep each other "i~ check." Some-
. times our views are short-sighted and we need some one to
give us a more objective account of where we really stand.
A room ate or suitemate could help considerably to keep us
in a more balan~ed view of our relationships, if 'we would
only ask.
This time of our lives is one of transition for all of
us. We should be open to God for any outcome after our
brief stay together. If there exists a time clock slowly
ticking away in the back of our minds, life could be hectic
and disappointing. But if we are concerned to cultivate life­time
friendships then couple exclusivism will turn into cor­porate
fellowship. Keeping one another "in check" will help
us be more like Christ and will help us bear one another
up in love to , be stronger witnesses for Him. It is possible .
to leave Bethel a single adult, but let's hope that no " one
leaves Bethel without maturing individually and together a~
brothers and sisters. If there ' is any pressure to be exerted
let us pressure one another to love and good works. Let'~
find a balance between benefiting .from the diversity of
community and benefiting from the. possible cultivation of a
life-time inseparable union.
Goodell 'tosses out ideas
to Anthro class questions
by Gloria Jackson
A spontaneous question and answer period was held with
John Goodell, recent convocation speaker, in Tom Correll's
Development of Man class. Mr. Goodell returned to Bethel
to talk with students about human potential and to share some
of his views on child development.
Mr. Goodell is. design engineer, inventor, industrial film
maker, and producer of the documentary "Always a New
Begi~ing." His beliefs about deprived human potential be­ginning
from birth led him to travel in 26 different coun-
, tries to study children in differing environments. The follow­ing
are some of the questions students and faculty asked.
Q: What should we do about our defective gene pool?
A: "I believe that even thougp someone carries defective
genes it does not mean that he has nothing to offer. He
may have something very important to offer to the world.
, "I am opposed to a1?ortion. I believe that life begins at
the moment of conception. If we can't solve our population
problem in some other way, there is something wrong."
Q: In chapel on Monday you told us to go on dreaming
dreams. Would you elaborate on this?
A: "At around your age, from 14 to 20 years old, young
people think about revolutionary ideas to change and better
the world. Most people forget those dreams in their strug­gle
for personal survival.
"Dreaming is imagining. When we brainstorm collective­ly-
we toss out ideas that are totally unexpected. A new Jdea
is triggered off by what someone else says. The technology
might have been available for 25 years, but no one thought
of the invention. This is so because we are so tied by
tradition. For example, the first automobiles had a place
for the buggy whip.
"Dreaming is a valuable"· thing. It triggers creativity.
Creativity takes place when you go off in a corner and
'squeeze' your brain. You think you have come up with
every possibility when someone else comes along to trigger
another thought.
"I S:lon't believe that there is an adult alive who can solve
our problems, but I think that children will solve the prob­lems-
you and your children."
Q: What 'can we do to make the world better?
A: "We can do little things. They all contribute. We can
vote for the right people, fight against pollution, and turn off

Devil re,vealed
in 'Scre,wta'pe'
by Mary Norton
"I came into the play almost not be­lieving
in the devil. Now I believe that
he is real, but I'm not afraid." Karl
Schafer, senior drama major, talked a­bout
how the cast of "Screwtape" learned
to overcome the devil.
Two weeks ago those of us who were
fortunate enough to get a ticket before
"Screwtape" was sold out, witnessed a
new experience in Bethel drama. Never
before had the devil been deliberately
portrayed and mocked on the stage of
Bethel theatre.
Reaction to this production ranged
from complaints to compliments. "There
was too much yelling," said one student.
"Yet, I found the situations represented
in "Screwtape" very relevant and mean~
ingful to my Christian life."
Karl answered some of the questions
concerning the problems and triumphs
encountered in "Screwtape." During and
between rehearsals several incidents ,of
nightmares and other troubles were re­ported
by cast members. Karl developed
laryngitis and sensed, as did the other
thespians, that it might have something
to do with the cast's daily encounters
with the devil and their attempts to
make fun of him. These problems were
brought up and, for the most part, open­(
y discussed between cast members. Karl
said, "It was a unifying experience. We
were all working against the same thing.
What we talked about on stage we ex­perienced
in real life."
After cast members had told other
students 'and professors about the prob­lems
they were having, a wave of prayer
support gave strength to the cast. Karl
said that the prayers of the Bethel com­munity
"backed' both practices and per­formances
in a unique way."
Mike Stair, the guest director for
"Screwtape," gave general information
about demon' possession to the cast and
grounded it in scripture. "That made
us reverent," said Karl, "knowing we
had to be careful in portraying possessed
people."
In building his character, an ostensibly
"good" devil, Karl found a new chal­lenge.
"Demons can possess very lov­able
and innocent forms. That's what
I was trying to show." Karl felt that
this character of Wormwood, "didn't fri­ghten
us and that's what we need to
be aware of. The devil is subtler than
we give him credit for."

"Whether you like it or not, you are citizens of the
world. You may have to forsake the sovereignty of a coun­try,
but it is necessary for the good of the world. We need
a community that loves man - man not defined by ethnic

"This will come about by people in ceFtain environments.
People are the way they are because of their environment.
The differing traits will disappear if we go on as we are.
Babies are much more alike than different. People are more
similar than different. I have tremendous faith in the power
of the people of the world."
'Q: Mr. 'Goodell, you said tbat tbe first four years of a
child's life were important. What precautions can we as
future parents take? -
A : "I would not allow my wife to' smoke, to take
aspirin or other drugs that are not absO'lutely necessary.
I would have her be vetY careful, especially during the
first month of pregnancy. I would insist on fetal monitor­ing.
I would persuade her to' use natural childbirth if possible
and avoid the use of anesthetics.

'Roshi' revelals life, death
_to Wo/rld Religions cla:ss
Dainin Katagiri, the head priest or "roshi," of the Min­nesota
Zen Meditation Center, was a guest at Bethel last
week, lecturing to the World Religions class taught by Dr.
Al Glen. Katagiri, who was the recent subject of a Min·
neapolis 'Star feature article, shared with the class his ideas
of the "enlightenment" or "sa tori" experience of Buddhism.
He also offered his thoughts on a variety of other sub­jects.
On Life: "Life is like a centralized spinning top,
harmoniously balanced between the centrifugal and centri­pedal
forces ... we need the -harmonious unity of those
forces .. You cannot separate sp~ritual form of life from the
physical side of life."
On Meditation: "The mind is a very busy thing. As you sit
quietly in "zazen" (meditation), thoughts of the past and
present constantly come into your mind. These thoughts, or
pictures, are like bubbles of the past and present; we must
allow them to rise naturally and disappear. We must nDt
wrestle with them. We must Mt them go."
On After·life: "There may be life after death, no one knows.
I am not sure."
On The Existence of God: "It is natural in the human
way to try and find the source of all things but in Buddhism
th~re is no begipning, rather there is beginningless-ness.'i
On The "Peaceful Life": "The peaceful life allows you to
live in the present steadily and constantly. We can live
moment by moment in the here-ness of life."
On 'Buddhism: "All is Buddha, but it is not pantheism.
Neither is it theism. It is beyond that."

between 'father and child in the future. I would make sure
that the child is brain damaged as, little as possible.
"As far as the first four years of the child's life, I
would expose the child to lots of opportunities to be in­terested
in lots of things. Don't push a child. I would have
lots of musical instruments and toys ip shapes, colors,
and sizes. The child would be encouraged to creep and
crawl as soon as possible."
Q :, What type of discipline would you: use?
A: "I would like to' use a great deal of judgment.
I would try to say yes, but when I say no ~ stick to it
unless I'm wrong. Trying to be as completely honest with
the child, I would try to' change my attitudes. I want to be
careful not to use discipline to' feed my egO'.
"I want to spend a great deal of time at the child's
level. Have you ever gotten down on the floor and looked
up at someone? They look awfully big."
Q: What is the most important thing you would like to
tell us?
A: "Do not forget the dreams you have now. They are
the best dreams you will ever have.
"The best way to' learn anything is to' teach it. If you
really want to' know something, you go to the top man
in the field to find out. If you don't understand something,
learn where to gO' to find out what you want to know."

Women to run
at U of M
i nvit ationa I
Bethel's women's track team placed
in every event entered in its first indoor
meet Saturday at Carleton College. Ac­cording
to Coach Shirley Dawson, this
year marks the first indoor women's
track season in Minnesota history.
Bobbi Hersch, whose performance was
described by Miss Dawson as potentially
"competitive ... in a state invitational
meet," took first place in the high jump
(4' 6.5") and second in the long jump
(14' 4.5"). In the 60-yard dash, Jenni
Cochrell was first in 7.9 seconds. She
also ran the 280-yard dash in 44.5 se­conds,
good for second place.
Linda Johnson was second in the
mile run and Shari Sahlin ran to third
place in the 880-yard run.
The Lady Royals faced Carleton and
St. Olaf College, but no team scores
were recorded. Tomorrow, Miss Dawson
hopes to take "about ten" tracksters
to an invitational at the University of
Minnesota's main fieldhouse, which be­gins
at noon. The team will also enter
a St. Olaf indoor meet on March 15.
Both women's and men's track
lteams are well into the indoo'r
season, as the women travel to
the U of M tomorrow and the men
face four tough teams at St. Olaf.

Starvation: what we can do about it
One-fifth of the people in this world are starving to
death. Faces of emaciated children suffering from malnu­trition
glare at us ' from our television sets and the pages
of our newspapers and magazines. We feel sickened at the'
sight of this, but feel our interest drawn back to the problem
again and again. What can we do about it?
The irony is this: we hear every day about people whose
life expectancy is shortened due to lack of food, while here
in the United States, seven million people can expect a shorter
life because they eat too much (U.S. News and World Re·
port, July 22, 1974).
Everyone has heard the figures. With six percent of the
world's population we use 30 percent of its limited resources.
True, we probably feed 25 percent of the world's people,
(National Review, November 11, 1974); and we gave away
$3 million in free food last year. (That was 84 percent of
all food given away by developed nations.) BUT in 1963
we gave away over $18 million worth of food (U.'S. News,
December 16, 1974). Each year as inflation has risen and
our population increased, the United States has given away
less and less.
Now the food experts have come back to the theory of
19th Century thinker Malthus - the earth can only support
a limited amount of people and that limit may have already
been reached. Though birth rates are steadily decreasing,
effective world-wide birth control is not yet a reality. Even
if it were, this would not solve the problem of widespread,
famine, such as exists in Africa today and occurs frequently
all over the world. Somewhere, somehow, we need to establish
a food surplus from which the entire world may draw in
emergencies.
According to experts, such as British economist Barbara
Ward ('U.S. News, December 16, 1974) the largest problem
lies in consumption patterns, particularly in high consumption
nations such as the United States.
For example, American diets are heavily laden with beef
and other meats. But to produce one pound of American
beef protein it takes 21 pounds of grain protein (PRE·
VENTION, February, 1975). For 'everyone American fed

Volume 50, No. 18
on beef, seven other people could be fed on grain (SCIENCE,
May 3, 1974).
In the United States and Canada the per capita grain
consumption is one ton per year. Two-hundred pounds of this
goes toward the production of bread and pastries but the large
portion of it supplies the raw materials for livestock pro­ducts
such as meat, milk and eggs (Saturday Review World,
December 1, 1964).
Nutritionists report that the body can use efficiently no
more than three ounces of meat protein in 24 hours. Yet
the average American eats three times that amount on an
annual basis (and probably actually excretes the rest).
Scientists have even linked excessive meat eating to heart
disease and cancer.
To support a meat diet such as Americans eat, valuable
farmland is also wasted. The acreage needed to feed one
American is five times that needed to feed an Indian,
Nigerian or Columbian.
To alleviate the world food shortage and distribute food
resources more equitably, it seems to us that action must
be taken in four areas:
First, effective birth control must be obtained for the
Whole world and all nations must work to achieve zero
population growth.
Second, land which is as yet unused could be tilled in
such countries as Brazil and we can work toward stopping
war in such countries as Cambodia so their peoples can
return to self-sufficient agriculture.
Third, Americans and people in other developed nations
can contribute individually to organizations like Care and
World Vision which distribute food efficiently.
But last and probably most important, we Americans
can change our eating habits. In the long run, Americans
who eat more vegetables, fruits and grains such as rice
may be saving not only the world, but themselves as
well.
It just makes sense.

Shelley announces IIbowl of ricell plan
"Most of the world gets by on a
daily bowl of rice for food, and we
think offering this 'alternative menu'
to Bethel students once a week may
bring that fact closer to home," said
Marshall Shelley, Student Association
president.
The "alternative menu" of which he
speaks is an unadorned bowl of rice
which will be offered through the Bethel
Food Service every Thursday night, be­ginning
March 13. Students who choose
this menu, at $1 per bowl, will be con­tributin.
g directly (through the Student
Association) to the World Relief Com­mission,
and indirectly toward feeding
the hungry in other lands. . "'
Shelley explained he is hopeful that
peer pressure may encourage many stu­dents
to participate in the program. "If
a student with a full meal sits down
at a table where all his friends are
eating rice, he may think twice the
next Thursday when he comes through
the food line," he remarked.
The "alternative menu" was the brain­child
of Bethel senior Larry Herzberger
(instigator of the recent F~under's Week
flyer). His original proposal was submit­ted
to several Bethel administrators and
faculty members before it was given
into the hands of the Student S~nate
for action. Among the endorsers were
Dean Dwight Jessup, Dr. Phil Carl­son,
Food Service Co-Manager Wayne
Erikson and Dave Perry.
HerzbergE7r hopes the program will ac­complish
two major purposes.
"First, it enables the individual student
and Bethel collectively to contribute to
the poor and hungry," reads the pro­posal.
"Second, it enables each contri­buter
to identify with those needy by
eating what most of the world eats every
day. Together, this gives the person a
sense of accomplishment: He can do
something to alleviate suffering. Finally,
he can have an effect on his fellow
students. The friend sitting next to him
can s~e that for the sake of others
a sacrifice has been made."
According to Association . President
Shelley, response so far to the idea
has been -good. "I was very pleased
by the cooperation we received from
the Business Office in working this out.
Now we'll be interested to see how the
students respond when given the chance
to contribute to the world's needy on
a regular basis," he said.
"The friend sitting
next to him can
see that for the
sake of others
a sacrifice has
been made."
The World Relief Commission is the
project of . the National Association of
Evangelicals. In the past the Commis­sion
has organized relief efforts for the
Honduras and parts of Africa. The Pub­lic
Activities Committee of the Student
Association has contributed to the Com­mission
through several of its projects,
particularly P;l'oject Fifi.

by the way, is an idea we do not support) is that it will

student to participate in sports that he (she) was exposed
to in P.E. without a quality 1M program.
Athletic prior1ities are misplaced
Dear Editor:
The Intramural Program is frequently criticized for its
lack of dependable management and its erratic scheduling
of activities. Usually, the 1M directors, Paul Reasoner and
Dan Swanson, are the brunt ' of this criticism. We feel that
these complaints, however ' justified, should not be aimed at
Reasoner and Swanson. The onus of the blame lies With the
. Bethel Athletic Department and its seemingly misplaced
priorities.
As a school striving for recognition in the outside com­munity,
it is considered imperative by the institution to
develop an array of athletic teams competitive with teams
of similar institutions. We agree with this idea, but not
at the expense of the general student population. Far more
students participate at the intramural level than within the
varsity sports struture, yet it seems that any school spon­sored
practice or game takes precedence over scheduled In­tramural
activities. It is assumed, in many cases, that the
1M schedule can be modified to adjust to any change in
the Athletic Department schedule. '
The question here seems to be whether our tuition
money is for the purpose of our being spectators or our being
So as not to be mere critics, we have three sug­gestions
:
. 1. The 1M program should be given high priority in the
scheduling and usage of the gym.
2. Nights should be established which are devoted ex­clusively
to the 1M program and its student participation.
3. The 1M Department should receive a greater portion
of the Athletic Department financial pie.
A possibility to be considered in this new emphasis on
Intramurals would be the channeling of our tuition dollars
away from the required P.E. program to an expanded In­tramural
program.
We do feel that organized sports at the intercollegiate
level definitely has a place here at Bethel. But there must
be a balance between organized intercollegiate sports and an
intramural program serving the interests of the genera}
student population.

Mark Troxel

Let1s remember the, swell p'eople
Dear Editor:
I might have put it off longer,. but this month's Standard
has forced me to climb upon my soapbox and blow my own
bubbles. Too long, I have been willing to curl up in the cor- '
ner and watch the superior race take the stand,. I am speak­ing
about the wonderful people. The wonderful individuals are
manifested in many ways. The Standard's layout of Bethel
students is a major case of chauvinistic wonderfulism. Of
course, there are . also wonderful jocks and wonderful stu­dent
leaders and wonderful people on the Dean's List. In
and of themselves, there is nothing wrong with wonderful
people, but to be perfectly honest, I am sick and tired
of hearing about wonderfulness. Most of us are not won­derful.
We are merely swell people. But without swell people,
wonderful would not be wonderful. Without us the leaders
would have no one to lead, the Dean's kids would only be
as smart as the next person and the athletes would have
no one to keep score. Wonderful cannot exist without swell
anymore than Edgren Dorm council could exist without their
Cub Scout Handbook. Most of the world is swell! So how
about honoring those who just get their homework in, or
smile a lot or press their socks? Swell people don't want
recognition, they would just like to be remembered. So
tonight, when you wonderful people go to bed, just sit for
a moment and smile and say thank you swell people -
you've made me what I am today.
Sincerely,
Bryan Anderson
(One pf the Swell Crowd)
Editor's note: At the risk of forcing IBryan to be wonderful
himself, we coerced him into signing his name. Our policy
dictates _ that we simply can't publish anonymous letters,
and after we laid eyes on this we just had to print it.
Thanks, Bryan. You're really swell.
Request made for coverage
Dear Editor:
Last year the Clarion surveyed students to ask what they
expected of the Clarion. One of the answers was a request
to know about outside events, to let students know what
is going on. The Clarion of last year seemed to consider
such advice helpful, and I personally thought the paper was
very interesting. This year the Clarion has not seemed to '

Clarion a bit more valuable to its readers.
Sincerely,

Editor's note: Your point is well taken, Kaye. Last semester
we endeavored to include in each issue an expanded "Clarion
Briefs" column to let students know what was going on
off campus. The individual who did the column for us has
since left our staff, but the "Briefs" will be going strong
again next week. In future issues we hope to have more
features such as that on the Minneapolis Housing Author­ity
(January 17) to inform students better as to what is
REALLY happening on the outside. If you or anyone else
has a tip for us as to wbat's happening around, please\
let us know. We always consider advice helpful.
Pastor search is!
on til March 15
The Campus Pastor Search Committee is pulling it all
together beginning next week, as it starts to review appli­cations
for that post.
"We've received lots of good referrals," said Mack Net­tleton,
director of Student Affairs and Committee member.
"Beginning March 15 we'll be looking at individual refer:"
rals and schedule interviews with these people. I'm really
impressed with the credentials of some of the people who have
applied."
Students or faculty memb,ers who would like to submit
a further name for referral to the Committee are asked to
submit that name before March 15. The prospective campus
pastor should satisfy the following criteria:
I. Style of Ministry
A. Should be an effective preacher and be able to
program and lead the daily chapel services.
B. Should effectively promote other worship experiences,
such, as small group studies, services and prayer
meetings.
C. Should be an effective personal spiritual counselor.
D. Should be able to relate to college students in in­formal
as well as formal settings.
E. Should be able to foster interest in and promote
opportunities for Christian service and evangelistic
activities for students.
F. Should be able to work closely with the Baptist

The' Buckley Amendment
File-opening bill now (yawn) legal--
by Steve Harris
The Buckley Amendment, a law hailed
by some civil rights groups as "a great
step forward in the cause of student
rights," has been nonchalantly ho-hum­med
by the Bethel College student body.
The Amendment, a December revision,
allows students over 18 years old to
inspect their school records. The spon­sors
of the Amendment, Senators James
Buckley and Claiborne Pell, sought to
Clarify these records as " ... educational
records ... (which) contain information
directly related to a student." For stu­dents
under 18 years old, permISSIon
is given to their parents to inspect the
records.
What types of information are con­tained
in school files? In high schools,
that might include grade transcripts, at­tendance
data, test scores, aptitude and
psychological tests, teacher and counsel­ling
observations, and personal back­ground
information. In most colleges,
however, there is less material involved,
which may explain the lack of interest
among Bethel students.
"There is nothing
in there that
would embarrass
somebody if someone
else saw it." .
"There just isn't that much in our
records which is 'controversial,'" says
Claire Kolmodin, who has charge of stu­dent
files in Bethel's Registrar Office.
"There is nothing in there that would
embarrass somebody if someone else saw
it. I would think more 'interesting' ma­terial
could be found in a student's high
school file."
According to the amendment, the fol­lowing
materials are excluded from the
records: personal notes of teachers',
supervisors, and administrators which
are retained in their possession, and
in the case of postsecondary (college)
students, medical and psychiatric re­cords.
Notice is to be given annually
to parents and eligible students about
the types of student education records and then do so. To file a complaint,
which the school has in its possession, students may write to:
as well as the procedure for reviewing
them.
"The one thing we are not allowing
students to see," added Claire, "is ref­erence
letters. It hasn't been decided
whether or not they fall under the A­mendment,
because in some spots it's
really vague and ambiguous."
One of the law's provisions has in­directly
affected Bethel students already. t
Freshmen used to have their grades
sent home to their parents by mail.
Because of the law, which prohibits the
release of any part of a student's file
without his permission, that practice has
been cancelled.
According to the Bethel Registrar Of­fice,
only two people have asked to
examine their files, one of them being
the author of this article for research
purposes. A sampling of the material
included in that file included high school
and college transcripts, test seores, cor­respondence,
and form letters. Little of
it, except for a previously hidden high Claire Kolmodin
school IQ rating, was revealing.
"In the future," states a report by
Bethel Dean Dwight Jessup, "any ap­plication
(by Bethel) for federal funds
from the Office of Education will re­quire
an assurance that Bethel is com­plying
with the Buckley Amendment."
If student response so far is any in­dication,
that assurance should be very
easy to give.
Students who request to see their re­cords
and are refused (or if parts of
their records are being withheld from
them) should inform the administration
that they intend to file a complaint,

Undoubtedly, loopholes will be found
in the Amendment by administrators.
For example, it may be possible for
schools to use material concerning stu­dents
to make decisions concerning them,
and not incorporate that information into
a student's official file. These cases can
be challenged in the courts and probably
will be. .!lrIl DROVERS

by Craig and Mark Johnson .
As we go through our days ' together in a college-com­munity
probably the best benefit to our growth arid con­tinuing
well-being is meeting people who will be our friends
for the rest of our lives. It also might be within God's
plan for us to meet a person who we feel we should marry
and establish a home. No other place could be better suited
for such 'a discovery. However, we feel the present concern
to comment on this sensitive issue.
Just this week we discussed a present trend of "couple
exclusivism" wi~ a fellow sister. Sh~ expressed her concern
in this way. "I don't think you should be so involved with
your own little world that you become insensitive to your
other friends or people around you. Isn't it with reaching out
and sharing, and giving, that we truly gain? I think some­one
very close and dear to us said that in somewhat the
same manner." She could see the necessity of cultivating
a diversity of relationships exclusive to no one. As soon
as our fellowship is closed to other brothers and sisters and
more time is spent with one particular member in the
fellowship, we see the need of those individuals to continue
to be sensitive to others in their immediate community.
We must admit that we are at different stages of
maturity in our relationships with 'each other. Some are
asking the question, "Who am I?", and thus are not pre·
pared yet to share themselves openly with one individual.
Others are maturing in the realm of brother· sister relation·
ships and thus moving toward the preparation of themselves
for a marriage relationship, but one cannot move toward
a. mature marriage relationship until both partners know who
they are individuallY,and both understand what brother· sister
relationships are all about - first! There is no room for
the "Marriage Hame" in a Christian community. "·
Maybe you can think of individuals who you know that
cannot go or do anything without that "special" guy .or
girl. We believe that God has placed people around us who
He would ' like to influence through our individual witness.
We need e~ch other to keep each other "i~ check." Some-
. times our views are short-sighted and we need some one to
give us a more objective account of where we really stand.
A room ate or suitemate could help considerably to keep us
in a more balan~ed view of our relationships, if 'we would
only ask.
This time of our lives is one of transition for all of
us. We should be open to God for any outcome after our
brief stay together. If there exists a time clock slowly
ticking away in the back of our minds, life could be hectic
and disappointing. But if we are concerned to cultivate life­time
friendships then couple exclusivism will turn into cor­porate
fellowship. Keeping one another "in check" will help
us be more like Christ and will help us bear one another
up in love to , be stronger witnesses for Him. It is possible .
to leave Bethel a single adult, but let's hope that no " one
leaves Bethel without maturing individually and together a~
brothers and sisters. If there ' is any pressure to be exerted
let us pressure one another to love and good works. Let'~
find a balance between benefiting .from the diversity of
community and benefiting from the. possible cultivation of a
life-time inseparable union.
Goodell 'tosses out ideas
to Anthro class questions
by Gloria Jackson
A spontaneous question and answer period was held with
John Goodell, recent convocation speaker, in Tom Correll's
Development of Man class. Mr. Goodell returned to Bethel
to talk with students about human potential and to share some
of his views on child development.
Mr. Goodell is. design engineer, inventor, industrial film
maker, and producer of the documentary "Always a New
Begi~ing." His beliefs about deprived human potential be­ginning
from birth led him to travel in 26 different coun-
, tries to study children in differing environments. The follow­ing
are some of the questions students and faculty asked.
Q: What should we do about our defective gene pool?
A: "I believe that even thougp someone carries defective
genes it does not mean that he has nothing to offer. He
may have something very important to offer to the world.
, "I am opposed to a1?ortion. I believe that life begins at
the moment of conception. If we can't solve our population
problem in some other way, there is something wrong."
Q: In chapel on Monday you told us to go on dreaming
dreams. Would you elaborate on this?
A: "At around your age, from 14 to 20 years old, young
people think about revolutionary ideas to change and better
the world. Most people forget those dreams in their strug­gle
for personal survival.
"Dreaming is imagining. When we brainstorm collective­ly-
we toss out ideas that are totally unexpected. A new Jdea
is triggered off by what someone else says. The technology
might have been available for 25 years, but no one thought
of the invention. This is so because we are so tied by
tradition. For example, the first automobiles had a place
for the buggy whip.
"Dreaming is a valuable"· thing. It triggers creativity.
Creativity takes place when you go off in a corner and
'squeeze' your brain. You think you have come up with
every possibility when someone else comes along to trigger
another thought.
"I S:lon't believe that there is an adult alive who can solve
our problems, but I think that children will solve the prob­lems-
you and your children."
Q: What 'can we do to make the world better?
A: "We can do little things. They all contribute. We can
vote for the right people, fight against pollution, and turn off

Devil re,vealed
in 'Scre,wta'pe'
by Mary Norton
"I came into the play almost not be­lieving
in the devil. Now I believe that
he is real, but I'm not afraid." Karl
Schafer, senior drama major, talked a­bout
how the cast of "Screwtape" learned
to overcome the devil.
Two weeks ago those of us who were
fortunate enough to get a ticket before
"Screwtape" was sold out, witnessed a
new experience in Bethel drama. Never
before had the devil been deliberately
portrayed and mocked on the stage of
Bethel theatre.
Reaction to this production ranged
from complaints to compliments. "There
was too much yelling," said one student.
"Yet, I found the situations represented
in "Screwtape" very relevant and mean~
ingful to my Christian life."
Karl answered some of the questions
concerning the problems and triumphs
encountered in "Screwtape." During and
between rehearsals several incidents ,of
nightmares and other troubles were re­ported
by cast members. Karl developed
laryngitis and sensed, as did the other
thespians, that it might have something
to do with the cast's daily encounters
with the devil and their attempts to
make fun of him. These problems were
brought up and, for the most part, open­(
y discussed between cast members. Karl
said, "It was a unifying experience. We
were all working against the same thing.
What we talked about on stage we ex­perienced
in real life."
After cast members had told other
students 'and professors about the prob­lems
they were having, a wave of prayer
support gave strength to the cast. Karl
said that the prayers of the Bethel com­munity
"backed' both practices and per­formances
in a unique way."
Mike Stair, the guest director for
"Screwtape," gave general information
about demon' possession to the cast and
grounded it in scripture. "That made
us reverent," said Karl, "knowing we
had to be careful in portraying possessed
people."
In building his character, an ostensibly
"good" devil, Karl found a new chal­lenge.
"Demons can possess very lov­able
and innocent forms. That's what
I was trying to show." Karl felt that
this character of Wormwood, "didn't fri­ghten
us and that's what we need to
be aware of. The devil is subtler than
we give him credit for."

the television at the right time: The power of the people
is tremendous. It is our responsibility to think about our
children.
"Whether you like it or not, you are citizens of the
world. You may have to forsake the sovereignty of a coun­try,
but it is necessary for the good of the world. We need
a community that loves man - man not defined by ethnic
terms.
"This will come about by people in ceFtain environments.
People are the way they are because of their environment.
The differing traits will disappear if we go on as we are.
Babies are much more alike than different. People are more
similar than different. I have tremendous faith in the power
of the people of the world."
'Q: Mr. 'Goodell, you said tbat tbe first four years of a
child's life were important. What precautions can we as
future parents take? -
A : "I would not allow my wife to' smoke, to take
aspirin or other drugs that are not absO'lutely necessary.
I would have her be vetY careful, especially during the
first month of pregnancy. I would insist on fetal monitor­ing.
I would persuade her to' use natural childbirth if possible
and avoid the use of anesthetics.
"I would be there when the child was born. Contact

'Roshi' revelals life, death
_to Wo/rld Religions cla:ss
Dainin Katagiri, the head priest or "roshi," of the Min­nesota
Zen Meditation Center, was a guest at Bethel last
week, lecturing to the World Religions class taught by Dr.
Al Glen. Katagiri, who was the recent subject of a Min·
neapolis 'Star feature article, shared with the class his ideas
of the "enlightenment" or "sa tori" experience of Buddhism.
He also offered his thoughts on a variety of other sub­jects.
On Life: "Life is like a centralized spinning top,
harmoniously balanced between the centrifugal and centri­pedal
forces ... we need the -harmonious unity of those
forces .. You cannot separate sp~ritual form of life from the
physical side of life."
On Meditation: "The mind is a very busy thing. As you sit
quietly in "zazen" (meditation), thoughts of the past and
present constantly come into your mind. These thoughts, or
pictures, are like bubbles of the past and present; we must
allow them to rise naturally and disappear. We must nDt
wrestle with them. We must Mt them go."
On After·life: "There may be life after death, no one knows.
I am not sure."
On The Existence of God: "It is natural in the human
way to try and find the source of all things but in Buddhism
th~re is no begipning, rather there is beginningless-ness.'i
On The "Peaceful Life": "The peaceful life allows you to
live in the present steadily and constantly. We can live
moment by moment in the here-ness of life."
On 'Buddhism: "All is Buddha, but it is not pantheism.
Neither is it theism. It is beyond that."

between 'father and child in the future. I would make sure
that the child is brain damaged as, little as possible.
"As far as the first four years of the child's life, I
would expose the child to lots of opportunities to be in­terested
in lots of things. Don't push a child. I would have
lots of musical instruments and toys ip shapes, colors,
and sizes. The child would be encouraged to creep and
crawl as soon as possible."
Q :, What type of discipline would you: use?
A: "I would like to' use a great deal of judgment.
I would try to say yes, but when I say no ~ stick to it
unless I'm wrong. Trying to be as completely honest with
the child, I would try to' change my attitudes. I want to be
careful not to use discipline to' feed my egO'.
"I want to spend a great deal of time at the child's
level. Have you ever gotten down on the floor and looked
up at someone? They look awfully big."
Q: What is the most important thing you would like to
tell us?
A: "Do not forget the dreams you have now. They are
the best dreams you will ever have.
"The best way to' learn anything is to' teach it. If you
really want to' know something, you go to the top man
in the field to find out. If you don't understand something,
learn where to gO' to find out what you want to know."

Bethel's women's track team placed
in every event entered in its first indoor
meet Saturday at Carleton College. Ac­cording
to Coach Shirley Dawson, this
year marks the first indoor women's
track season in Minnesota history.
Bobbi Hersch, whose performance was
described by Miss Dawson as potentially
"competitive ... in a state invitational
meet," took first place in the high jump
(4' 6.5") and second in the long jump
(14' 4.5"). In the 60-yard dash, Jenni
Cochrell was first in 7.9 seconds. She
also ran the 280-yard dash in 44.5 se­conds,
good for second place.
Linda Johnson was second in the
mile run and Shari Sahlin ran to third
place in the 880-yard run.
The Lady Royals faced Carleton and
St. Olaf College, but no team scores
were recorded. Tomorrow, Miss Dawson
hopes to take "about ten" tracksters
to an invitational at the University of
Minnesota's main fieldhouse, which be­gins
at noon. The team will also enter
a St. Olaf indoor meet on March 15.
Both women's and men's track
lteams are well into the indoo'r
season, as the women travel to
the U of M tomorrow and the men
face four tough teams at St. Olaf.
